Why are Italians so lazy?

They started building the Colosseum in Rome more than 2000 years ago and still haven't finished the top half. 🙄

but i bet the beer lineup was pretty good in those days
@beermeplease maybe they celebrated reaching the highest point and got too drunk to finish it. 🤔 In Italy the wine lineup was probably better though.

Only if they had enough Germans in the Praetorian Guard.

Oh, I always thought that was the half that came down in the fall of Rome 🤷‍♂

English tourists came here and are taking it, pebble by pebble, to the British Museum, over the centuries

It's too hot in the Summer and too cold in the Winter.

In 2003 - I was pick-pocketed on the subway on the way to visit the Coliseum....(true story)

Imagine having nothing else to do on a Sunday except watch a guy fight a tiger.

Too many vino breaks.

That's because someone ate the watermelon Colosseum model

The rest of the world decided it was an heritage site - and now it's illegal to finish it, so... 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀🤷‍♀
They did finish it. What’s missing is the proof of wear and tear.

I suppose they are too lazy to come back for renovations.

It won't pay to do renovations until they bring back gladiators fighting to the death.
@Thinkerbell
When I went there in 2017, I couldnt help but touched the walls as I imagined the Spartacus-like scenes that took place. 😌

In the picture, the bloodthirsty Vestal Virgins in the front row are giving the thumbs down to the losing gladiator.
